I feel your pain. Color accuracy is an area in which the old film cameras still excel.

(See my response to Horst, above.... - thanks for the sympathy)

It's a noid?? Oh gosh...you should let me take care of that lovely thing for you. lol That one is absolutely breathtaking!! I wish I could help with the name. I recognize the flower...but the name isn't popping into the brain. It's an old cross, and i'll bet one of the older members will know it on sight. It's a gorgeous thing...lucky you!

Come on, Connie, think, think.... I really thought that the cinnamon fragrance would help id it, but you're the closest to it so far. Thanks for the kind words - if I can keep it alive long enough for it to put out a few more growths, I'll send you a division (thinly disguised incentive).

well, i understand how frustrating it can be at times where you just can't get the very pic to turn out the way we expect it but Maura, the first pic is breath taking for me. it is the very first thing that caught my attention when i log into orchid talk lobby. fabulous!

Thank you so much, Ian - it's really gratifying to read all the enthusiastic comments, and especially yours.
